If collective/military force is an economic power, whoever ever said that, that could only mean that brute force is a capital. If capital means originally head of animal/human, even band/group/clan leaders from primitive societies were capitalists because they controlled or owned these heads of animals/humans for economic, social, military, political purposes. The only difference between primitive societies and current ones is that there's huge gap in technology. Feudal lords or kings amassed capital in the form of lands, slaves, goods by waging wars or negotiating peace etc. while contemporary so-called capitalists do the same by forming factories, firms, financial associations etc. Dividing human societies into various adjectives like primitive, ancient, feudal, capitalist, post-capitalist etc is an exercise in diversion fit for scholastic mindset.HistoryInternationalReview
